Verizon Nexus One Video Leak
Verizon Nexus One rumors have surfaced yet again, this time caught on video. A Tipster submitted this video to Android Central. They claim it’s most likely fake as it would be a simple website to duplicate, but these days you just never know. The screen shots show the Verizon’s Nexus One appears to be $199 with 2 year contract. Check out the video after the jump and let us know your thoughts?
| Another tasty morsels for this Monday morning: Jkontherun says to expect the N1 in April with “something that the versions on other U.S. carriers lack.” Flash 10.1? A better touchscreen? Trackball swapped out for the Desire’s trackpad? Your guess is as good as ours.
Update: We’ve now had a couple people tell us the hold-up for the Verizon Nexus One has been because Skype wasn’t playing nicely with Android 2.1. Plausible? |
